GARDEN CITY, Utah. April 21, 2016. George Peart, Residential
Building Inspector, noted that there are new building codes that have been
accepted that need to be followed. It
will take a while for builders to become familiar with these changes. Peart will be looking to make sure the new
changes are being followed. Builders may
have to redo some items.
There are currently five residential buildings with either obtained building permits or being built. An addition three new permits have just been
obtained.
The request was made by an individual to build two or three
small homes on his lot next to his home to be used as short-term rentals. The ordinance allows only one home per
lot. Because of the success of
short-term rentals, however, this type of request may become more frequent, and
people need to know that only one home per lot is allowed.
The County has not done anything to work with short-term
rentals in the County. The City is to be
congratulated for keeping on top of this item because short term rentals do
impact water, garbage, electricity, and so forth. The County is finding there are more short
term rentals that their list shows.
Garbage at certain locations denotes that short-term rentals are present
in that vicinity. They are beginning to
look into this issue.
The building industry seems to be moving forward.
